japan overwork

Japan's killer work ethic strikes again
Another man has died for Chuck's Camry, sorta. A local gov't organization ruled in June that a worker's 2006 death was because Toyota made him work too hard: up to 114 hours a month of overtime (in Japan, unpaid!) in the six months before he bought the farm. (Last year, the widow of another Toyota worker, who died in 2002, won compensation for his wrongful death caused by overwork.) Washington Post
